Extra storage for Windows desktops

The Seagate Expansion desktop hard drive adds 3 TB of capacity for documents, media and backups. It connects through a USB 3.0 port and draws power from the included adapter. The drive is recognised automatically by Windows 7 or higher with no software to install. Files are saved with simple drag-and-drop operation.

Windows users needing plug-and-play capacity

The drive works straight from the box on Windows 7 and newer systems. Mac users must reformat the drive before use, which erases any existing data. Buyers who need hardware encryption or ruggedised construction should look at other models. Anyone without a free USB port and a mains socket for the power adapter cannot use this unit.

USB 3.0 interface with external power

SuperSpeed USB 3.0 enables fast transfers when connected to a USB 3.0 port, while remaining backwards compatible with USB 2.0 at USB 2.0 speeds. The included power adapter is required for operation. The model number is STEB3000100.

Questions about this item

Will the USB 3.0 port on this STEB3000100 drive work with the USB 2.0 ports on my older desktop?

Yes, the drive is backwards compatible with USB 2.0 ports, though file transfers will run at USB 2.0 speeds instead of the faster USB 3.0 rate.

How can I confirm the drive is recognised and ready for drag-and-drop saving after I plug in the power adapter and USB cable?

The drive appears automatically in Windows File Explorer with no software to install; you can immediately open it and drop files to verify it is working.

Does the package include both the power adapter and the USB 3.0 cable, or must I buy a cable separately?

The drive ships with the required power adapter and a USB cable for immediate connection to a Windows 7 or higher system.
